UVM Morgan Horse Farm Short Video

I've visited the UVM Morgan Horse Farm on a few occasions, and it's a beautiful spot. I'll head back sometime this spring to do some touristing, probably. It's not really directly connected to the research I'm doing on Figure: the farm was originally founded by Joseph Battell, who collected the Morgan studbook information and bred horses himself. He turned it over to the US Government, who in turn gave it to UVM, all in the 20th century, long after Figure was gone.

The UVM Morgans are gorgeous animals, but trend a bit away from the stocky all-rounders that I love and into the saddleseat/breed showing side of things.

Here's a really wonderful short video about the farm and the work they do there.
